known Wall street banker the other
day, show many Western men of
wealth have within few years taken
up their residence in New York. There
is no place like New York. The ladies
have much to do with the hegira of
Western millionaires to New York. The
ladies go to Saratoga or Newport in the
summer, and meet New York people of
wealth, who invite them to the city.

swirl of fashion. A month or two
really settles the matter. They are dis
satisfied on returning home, and soon
they are again in New York"
John w. Mckay, the bonanza king,
alternates between New York and San
Francisco. He does not aspire to social
prominence. There are many men
here who won fortunes in the West,
though they were born at the East. G.
p. Huntington has lived here for many
years. He is worth $3.50, 100000 and he
lives in fine style on Park avenue. His
social standing is not very high. He
is man of rugged nature, natural
leader and in his sixty-fifth year. En-
crossed in great enterprises, he cares
little or nothing for society. Senator
Leland Stanford comes here quite FREE
quently. He is worth $40, 900, 900, even
after setting aside SlO,000,00O for an
industrial university on his 6,O00-acro
ranch in California. Charles Crocker
lives here. He is second vice president
of the Central Pacific road, and is
worth $10,000,O00 or $l5,000,000. Ho
is now about sixty-fve. Once upon u
time he was blacksmith. Railroads
gave him his millions. d. O. Mills,
who made most of his fortune in Cali
fornia. has lived here for about fifteen
years. He used to drive hack in q
small town up the Hudson River. He
went West and became associated
with William G. Ralston, that financial
meteor of California, in the organiZa-
ton of the California Bank, which was
to come down with Il crash and drive
Ralston to suicides death. Soon
after coming to New York Mr. Mills
was advised by William II. Vanderbilt
to buy Lake Shore. He did so and
made nearly S3,000,000 with which he
erected the Mills bnilding. Senator
John P. Jones, of Nevada, is also often
seen in New York. He made five or
, six millions in California mines and lost
; it trying to become railroad magnate.
John w. Mackey has helped him, and
it is understood that he has got on his
feet again largely through mining
speculations. He is an Englishman,

SENSIBLE EDUCATION

Many q Boys Life Made Failure by
system of False Training.
Why is it that we do not exhibit rs
much sense in educating our children
rs we do in training our animals? A
farmer has colt and a boy. He
studies that colt carefully. He notes
the points in his physical construction.
his disposition and temperament and
he can readily decide whether it is best
to train him for q trotter or plow
horse. He would be soundly laughed
ut if he should send Il heavy-built. stolid.
muscular, slow-going animal to Il jockey
to be trained for the race course, and
his judgment would be rs mercilessly
scored if he should take ahigh-spirited,
graceful young colt with all the points
of a trotter in his makeup, and decide
to make u draft horse of him. But that
same man will give his son an educa-
ton without consideration of his mental
adaptation to the course of study he is
pursuing. He only knows that
custom has prescribed certain things to
be learned which is called getting an
education, and if he goes through this
course of training, he has got his educa-
ton and his duty as parent is dis
charged. The result is that boys arc
educated away from the work Of life
they are adapted to, instead of being
properly prepared for what their nat
ur;.l qualifications fit them to do well.
This is why the boy who would have

third-rate lawyer. and discontented
blacksmith hammers his life and ener-
gy out at the forge, with talents and in
clinations which would have made him
successful physician. A human lifo
may be made a success by good edu-
cation, and it can just as surely be
made failure by u system OF false
training. Indiscriminate education with
out considering adaptation is Il grave
defect in our present educational sys-
tenn. 1t involves not only waste OF
time and money, but most fearful
waste of human energy, by misdirected
application. If there is any one course
of training that is adapted to all. what
ever pursuit in life they may follow, it
is the education afforded by a reliable
business training. Every person is
compelled to have business dealings
with his fellow men, and thorough
preparation for the business affairs Of
life can not we'll involve IN unwise ex-
penditure of time, money or effort

A novel fashion in the floral decora-

"A SABBATH LONG AGO.

Swing open wide, o doors Of time!
Let olden memories hold their sway;
Blot out the years OF golden prime
And let the past come back to-day.
o, memory fond, what blessings sweet
- Are waiting near thy open doors:
What waves OF fragrance come to greet,
Life perfume fresh from fairer shores.
Like floods OF sunshine from tho hills
That fill the Wales with golden light,
my radiance soft my spirit thrills
And makes the present fair and bright.
Thy hand shall lead me back again
Far past the whitencd mounds Of years;
Thy presence Danish all the pain
That time has fed with bitter tears.
SEQ q dreamy Sabbath day
Touched soft with natures fairy wand;
Sweet incense rose from new-mown hay
That lay In waves along the land.
Isee q smooth and level road
That led along the dear old town,
near purpling hills and pastures broad,
And soft green meadows sloping down.
A Sabbath hush our senses greet,
The day is rich with wealth OF June;
The insects feel the silence sweet
And fill the air with drowsy tune.
High on the hill the old church stood,
Its red brown gables outlined there,
monument OF solitude
Save when the people knelt In prayer
The pulpit high, with straight backed chair,
And altar cloth Of brightest red;
The pews so rigid, stark and bure,
And dark beams showing overhead.
The dear old pastor. grim and straight,
Prayed long and loud for all to come:
"Give grace to those who tarry late,
And guide the wandering sinner home.''
Above our heads the choir were proud
In Sunday dress, demure and prim,
And fresh young voices, clear and loud,
In concert sang the good old hymn.
Then all the people turned about
And facing them in silence stood.
And grand "Old Hundred" fiontcd out
And mingled with the golden Hood.
No organ pealed its anthems brave
To lift our souls in silent prayer,
But soft, "a charge to keep have"
sent out its sweetness on the air.
Then fell the benediction sweet.
"The peace of God with you abide:"
And then we walked with decorous feet
Out through tho old brown door so wide.
Once more we felt the sunshine's gold,
And met the fragrance OF perfume,
And first" and third and creeds so old
Were lost in summers natchless bloom.
The Sabbath air was sweet with rest,
Up from the river crept the dews.
The sun cleaned red udown the west
And faded into purpling hues.
Shut fast thy doors, o memory. kind
And call the dreamer back again,
They walk DER graves who seek to find
Their youth long lost in years OF pain.

Franks Of a Church Mouse.

The soft strains of the organ in the
Birmingham Episcopal church were
floating OH the air, and the congrcga-
ton were just composing themselves for
prayer. when the profound silence in
the church was broken by a piercing
shrek. At the same instant that the
shrek rang through the church a young
woman who was singing in the choir
gallery leaped from her seat and jumped
30 high that she nearly fell over tho
gallery rail. She continued to comfort
her body violently, explaining to her
associates that ''there was something on
her back" The organist, young man
of nerve, played through to the end of
his music. No one saw any thing nm
usual on her back, but finally to satisfy
her tho organist took of her plush
cloak, and there. costly perched upon
the top OF her hustle, sat u mouse,

In spite of tho solemnity of the occasion

female members of the choir jumped up
on the seats and drew their dresses
tightly around them. The mouse
escaped. Boston Globe.
